This currently is documented in /usr/share/doc/runit/README.Debian, but I can add it to the package description also. > Actually, this brings up a related question.

See /usr/share/doc/runit-run/README.Debian, it does all but the service migration, and the final reboot. > In other words, after installing runit-run in this manner, will I still > have to manually convert some /etc/init.d scripts to be runit-based > before I reboot? Debian services that are integrated into sysvinit are disabled by default, and need to be converted manually if they should run by default; the runit-run package enables a getty service, and additionally takes care that the packages' init scripts aren't run automatically on package installation/upgrade/remove through the policy-rc.d interface. To ease service migration on Debian, I'm in the progress of creating a runit-services package that includes service directories for some services, see http://bugs.debian.org/cgi-bin/bugreport.cgi?bug=330029 Help's always welcome ;-).
